Woods' Attorney Challenges DUI Subpoena for Drug Records

Published 16 April 2026

Tiger Woods' attorney has filed a motion challenging a subpoena sought by Florida prosecutors for the golfer's prescription drug records, arguing it would violate his client's constitutional privacy rights in connection with a recent DUI arrest.

The motion, filed this week in Martin County Circuit Court, comes after Woods, 50, was arrested on March 27 following a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida. His Mercedes-Benz SUV clipped a trailer attached to a truck, flipped onto its side, and came to rest in a ditch near his home. Woods faces misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, refusal to submit to a chemical test, and careless driving, along with a moving violation for distracted driving. He pleaded not guilty on March 31 and has requested a jury trial.

Prosecutors filed a notice on April 7 to subpoena records from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, about 25 miles south of the crash site. The request covers prescriptions filled from January 1 to March 27, including details on medication types, fill dates and times, pill quantities, dosages, refill schedules, and any instructions or warnings, such as those related to operating a vehicle.
